\columnbreak

### Spellcasting
As a weaver of magical strings, you can cast Puppeteer spells. See chapter 10 in the player's hand book for the general rules of spellcasting and Page 12 for the Puppeteer spell list.
#### Cantrips 
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the Puppeteer spell list. You learn additional Puppeteer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Puppeteer table.
#### Preparing and Casting Spells
* The Marionette Master table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. 
* You prepare the list of Puppeteer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Puppeteer spell list. When you do, choose a number of Puppeteer spells equal to your 'Known Spells' number. Spells can only be chosen if you have the spell slots for it.
* For example, if you are a 3rd-level Marionette Master, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.
* You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of Puppeteer spells requires time spent in meditation and pouring over Puppet designs: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

#### Spellcasting Ability 
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Puppeteer spells. The power of your spells comes from your devotion to your deity. You use your Charisma whenever a Puppeteer spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Puppeteer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

#### Ritual Casting  
You can cast a Puppeteer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared.

#### Spellcasting Focus 
Your Magical strings are considered to be your spellcasting focus for your puppeteer spells.
 
\pagebreakNum

### Puppet crafting
The process to creating a fully operational puppet takes multiple steps. We will give more detail in each step of the process.

- Crafting a puppet
- Theming a puppet
- Energizing the puppet (with character "touch")

*This will be explained on page ___.*

### String of Command
On each of your turns, you can use a Bonus Action to mentally Command any Puppet you made with this feature within 60 feet of you (if you control multiple Puppets, you can Command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same Command to each one). The maximum number of Puppets you may have equals the number shown on the table. (Even inactive Puppets count toward this total)

- Puppets under your control, obey your commands to the best of their ability. But act independently of you. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. You may fiddle with their strings (Magical or Physical), controlling them. Doing so allows you to choose the life-sized Puppet's actions and bonus actions. You decide what action and bonus action the Puppet will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general Command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands on your turn, it acts on it own. *You need both hands free to control a Puppet.*
- Once given an order, the Puppet continues to follow it until its task is complete.
If you are incapacitated or absent, the strings lose their grip and the Puppets will become inanimate. They fall down and can't act anymore.

#### Marionette's Mind
2nd level- learn to become one with your Puppet, this helps you control your Puppet remotely.

* **Puppet Senses**- As an Bonus action: You may link you senses: See, Hear, and Speak through a Created Puppet. (You may choose any or all Senses to be linked and you may turn the senses on and off as you feel necessary as a bonus action.) Your body is Blind, Deaf, Muted depending on which sense is currently linked. (If you have any Mental *Feats* you may use them while you share senses with your Puppet.) 
* **Hidden Strings**- As an Bonus action: You may expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher: make your strings *Invisible*. (While the Magical Puppet Strings are invisible to everyone else, you and the creature the strings are connected to, can always see the faint color of the strings.)

\columnbreak

#### Call of Duty
At 3rd level- If you (or an ally within 25ft of your Puppet) are targeted with a ranged attack or a spell that targets only one creature; You may use your Reaction to move your Puppet in between You(Ally) and the source of the attack. The Puppet becomes the new target for the attack. (You may use this reaction twice per a Long Rest.)

#### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by +2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by +1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

#### Competent Craftsman 
Starting at 6th level, you gain proficiency in Sleight of Hand after how much delicate craftsmanship you have performed. You also gain proficiency in two other Artisan Tools. If you are already proficient in sleight of hand you can choose any of the proficiencies listed on the creation chart.

#### Puppet Spellcasting
Starting at 7th level, You are able to cast any 3rd Level spell or lower with the range of "Self" or "Touch" through any Created Puppet as if it had cast the spell itself. This includes spells that require a melee attack.

#### That is what I call an upgrade
Starting at 9th Level, You are able to enhance the composition of your puppets. Making them more durable for damage. Increase their max Hit Points equal to half their Hit dice amount (rounded up).

Furthermore, the Puppets gain resistance to nonmagical damage.

#### Master of Puppets

While operating a Enemy and an Ally, you may use all of Ally Puppeteering features as bonus actions (Except it's reaction stays the same.) and all of Enemy Puppeteering features become Actions.

If you wish to use both of the "at the end of the turn" effects, you may use your action and bonus action at the same time to apply both effects and then end your turn. If you are Puppeteering 2 Allies you must target one of your allies when applying an effect. (Same goes for Puppeteering 2 enemies.)

You may however use your Attack Action through both of your Allies, both attack but roll seperate attack rolls. When you use your Action to yank the Enemy's strings, the effect is applied to both enemies.

\columnbreak
<div></div>

### Repairing a Puppet 
* If a Puppet is 0 HP it is considered "Broken". Broken puppets require materials and the tools used the craft the Puppet to repair it.
* Tinker's tools may be used on your Puppet during any Short/Long rest to repair any damages. 
* Repairing a Broken Puppet takes 3 hours, which can also be done during a long rest and you'll still receive the benefit's of the long rest.

##### Puppet Death!
 If your Puppet is reduced to 0 HP, it breaks. A broken Puppet loses 10% of it's material and loses 1 size quality (for instance: 'Resilient' to 'Fragile') until fixed.

</div>

<div class='descriptive'>
 
##### Puppet Weight Limit's
 Different materials, weigh differently. Be sure to watch your Puppets weight limit during creation. Don't forget to include hidden built-in weapons into the design, they count against the puppet's carried weight. Objects that are picked up apply to your Puppet's carried weight limit. Created Puppets cannot carry more then their own weight. 100lb Puppet can carry 100lbs additional weight. Your Puppet's weapon/armor factors into your Puppet's carried weight as well. (Puppets cannot float when they're at Maxed carrying weight.)

# Energizing the Puppet

### Requiring energy
To bring the Puppets to live you have to enhance the Puppet with unique energy. This energy can be brought in in any given state. In our case we use the soul of a dead creature (also known as a *Forebearer*) to power our Puppets. We apply magic to *Soul Transfer* the Soul to our puppet.

The creature needs to roll a Charisma saving throw against your **Soul Transfer DC**.
If it fails, the Soul is being pulled by your strings to your Puppet. And the transfer is completed after 1 minute. If it succeeds, you fail to pull him and he becomes immune to this process.

Once pulled in, the creature is willing to serve under your command, and cannot be charmed by others.

<div style='margin-top:20px'></div>
 
 <font face='scalysans' size='2'>
 
 <center> 
 
 **Soul Transfer DC** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> 8 + your proficiency bonus + 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> your Charisma modifier </center> 
 
 <div style='margin-top:12px'></div>

> ##### Roleplaying
 > The death of a creature can sometimes not be the end for their Soul. The DM can force/allow you to interact with the Soul in order to make the *Soul Transfer* willingly. Other ways are to give the Soul advantage or disadvantage after you spoken to it.
 
<div class='descriptive'>
 
 ##### The Consequences (DM Discretion)
Conducting a *Soul Transfer* is not a wide known process. This fine work of art isn't perfected by even the best Marionette Masters. The created Puppets can bear some or even all behaviors & morals of their Forebearers. This can lead to their voice and behavior characterized by their Soul. 
(For instance, this means that making a Chaotic Evil Lich into a Wizard Puppet can let it behave as a mix between a Lich & cute Wizard toy.)
